Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei all agree AI development needs to slow down. What have they seen that we haven’t? What happened behind closed doors? What haven’t they told us?

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor Say the End of the World Is Now on the Table www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/m...
Taylor: I think building multiracial democracy is harder than building fascism or authoritarianism. Because we don’t want to just grab the levers of power. You want to share power, and you have to figure out how to live together. So I think our project is just inherently more difficult.

If you're a normal person baffled by stuff like this, the key thing to know is that, to an investor-owned utility like National Grid, "costs less" is a *bad thing*, because they make more profit the more they spend. Making less profit for their investors is, uh, not viable.
